Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had a dry, rough patch on my lips for about 4-5 months now. It has gone away for a couple days at a time but always returns. It also scabs over, and when I pick it off, it becomes an unsightly dark red. After the color goes away, I am left with the uncomfortable dry patch and the cycle starts all over: 1) Dry patch 2)Scab & Peeling 3)Irritated Red mark 4) Goes Away for a couple days 5) Dry patch (starts again)
